Title: Apparatus and method for using bubble as virtual valve in microinjector to eject fluid
Inventor: KIM CHANG-JIN
IPC: B41J2/05
Filed: 1999-01-22
Abstract: An apparatus and method for forming a bubble within a microchannel of a microinjector to function as a valve mechanism between the chamber and manifold, that provides for a high resistance to liquid exiting the chamber through the manifold during fluid ejection through an orifice and that also provides a low resistance to refilling of liquid into the chamber after ejection of fluid and collapse of the bubble. This effectively minimizes cross talk between adjacent chambers and increases injection frequency of the microinjector. The formation of a second bubble within the chamber coalesces with a first formed bubble between the chamber and manifold to abruptly terminate the ejection of fluid, thereby eliminating satellite droplets.

Title: Electrical connector
Inventor: LARSSON PETER LARS
IPC: H01R4/02
Filed: 1984-04-10
Abstract: Connectors for terminating and splicing high voltage power cables comprise a metallic tubular sleeve having an open end for receiving an electrical conductor and a closed end. The inner wall of the sleeve is pretinned. The sleeve can be provided with a slug of solder proximate to the closed end. A connection is made by inserting the conductor into the sleeve, heating the solder, and as the solder melts, relatively moving the connector and the conductor toward each. The connector can be provided with an insert to accommodate conductors that are non-circular in cross-section. The connector can be provided with means for pressuring the slug of solder toward the open end of the sleeve at the temperature at which the slug of solder melts. With this connector, no relative movement between the conductor and the connector is required. Merely by melting the solder, the means for pressuring causes the solder to extrude around the conductor.

Patent AU-2966501-A (AU)
Title: Surface groove system for building sheets
Inventor: GLEESON JAMES ALBERT
IPC: E04C2/30
Filed: 2001-01-19
Abstract: The present invention involves building sheets with a plurality of grooves indented into a surface of the building sheet to provide a guide for cutting the building sheet along the grooves. Preferably, the grooves are arranged in a regularly repeating pattern and are spaced apart by a standard unit of measurement in order for a cutter to accurately size the building sheet to a precise dimension. A simple scoring knife is preferably used to score the sheet along the grooves, without the need for a straight edge, and the sheet is broken by simply bending the sheet of along the score mark. The grooves are preferably provided at a depth into the surface the sheet such that they do not substantially decrease the strength of the sheet or affect off-groove scoring. Thus, a score mark can be made between or across grooves without deflection of the mark into a groove and without breakage of the sheet along a groove when the sheet is bent.

Filed: 1997-06-09
Abstract: Method for the manufacture of a steel strip, wherein molten steel is cast into a slab, conveyed through a furnace, roughed in a roughing apparatus and finish-rolled in a finishing apparatus. The method comprises an endless or semi-endless process having either step a or step b, wherein a and b respectively comprise (a) manufacturing a ferritically rolled steel strip, wherein the slab is rolled in the roughing apparatus in the austenitic range and then cooled to a ferritic structure, and wherein the strip is rolled in the finishing apparatus at speeds essentially corresponding to the entry speed into the finishing apparatus, and (b) manufacturing an austenitically rolled steel strip, wherein the strip leaving the roughing apparatus is heated to the austenitic range and is rolled in the finishing apparatus and then cooled down to the ferritic range. In both step a and b, there is no material connection between the steel in the continuous casting machine and the steel being rolled in the finishing apparatus, and the strip is fed from the roughing apparatus to the finishing apparatus without intermediate storage. Additional steps include cutting the ferritically or austenitically rolled strip, after reaching the desired finished thickness, to portions of the desired length, and coiling the cut portions.

Title: Using heated gas stream to expand mineral material
Inventor: FEHLMANN HANS BEAT
IPC: C03B19/10
Filed: 1984-09-12
Abstract: An expanded mineral material suitable for use as a filler, e.g. instead of or in addition to sand or gravel in concrete mixes, is produced by dropping a stream of solid pellets into a rising stream of heated gas contained in a substantially vertical reactor space; the pellets consist essentially of a fusible mineral composition and a latent blowing agent; while falling in counter-current to the gas stream the pellets are heated progressively and expand at least to the point where they are capable to float in the gas stream and are carried in concurrent motion with the gas stream out of the reactor space. This reversal of motion of the expanding particles provides for a substantially self-regulating residence period of the particles in the expansion zone resulting in substantially improved process control and economy.
Patent AU-3379495-A (AU)
Title: Process and device for testing vehicle shock absorbers
Inventor: MULLER ROLAND
IPC: G01M17/04
Filed: 1995-09-11
Abstract: In known devices for testing vehicle shock absorbers, the tires, which have a dampening effect, are not taken into account, so that the measurement results may be falsified by up to about 30%, depending on the tire pressure. In addition, when the wheels are mounted on the vehicle, no shock absorber characteristic curve may be measured, only individual values. In the disclosed device, the actuating variable "tire" is eliminated by a regulation process that consists in normalizing the resonance amplitude, a considerably more accurate measurement being thus obtained. In addition, the spring constant of the wheel suspension is determined before actually testing the shock absorbers, allowing defective springs to be detected. Finally, car body oscillations may also be determined, causing an additional precision gain. For the first time it becomes possible to determine a shock absorber characteristic curve without having to dismount the shock absorbers.
